  1. A list of CERIF 2000 problems Walter Niedermayer walter@derpi.tuwien.ac.at lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001

  2. Implementation • Full CERIF 2000 was not easy to implement • some errors especially in theprovided ORACLEdatabase model toolkit • correcting errors needs agreement about new field lengths and so on. • ==> what to do? lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001

  3. Marketing • CERIF 2000 is not yet widely known. • How can we organize support and training, feedback and evaluation? • When to publish a recommendation inan Official Journal of the EU? • Who should use CERIF 2000? • ==> what to do? lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001

  4. Documentation – Web Site • Site http://www.cordis.lu/cerif/ not maintained any more • One can get lost on this site. • An all-in-one CERIF 2000manual for download seems to be missing, sothe promotion of CERIF2000 is a difficult task. • ==> what to do? lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001

  5. Subject indexing • CERIF 2000 proposes to use the ORTELIUS thesaurus. • It is still unclear whether ORTELIUS will be extended for research information purposes and maintained for long term. • ==> what to do? • change the ORTELIUS thesaurus against that one usedin COS? lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001

  6. Data exchange • CERIF 2000 relational data model defines the data entities with their attributes and relationshipsas a good example for CRIS databases ("harmonization for easy data exchange"). • But which data exchange ("copy") is intended? • Some universities at least probably will not exchange data with others, theyare going to be in a new competition process. • ==> what to do? lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001

  7. Compliance with national bylaws • Which organization level should use CERIF2000 ? • Universities have strict bylaws to deliver research data to national ministries (different to CERIF 2000). • Especially the classes for publications are defined by the national bylaws differently from CERIF2000. • ==> what to do? • Compare the national evaluation bylaws? lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001

  8. User interface standard ? • It could be an important benefit of CERIF 2000 to have a proposed quality standard for the user interface (search forms). • Any other benefits are not really visible for a CRIS user (when he is querying only via the general web query interface) • ==> what to do? lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001

  9. Benefit and Vision • What is the greatest benefit of CERIF 2000? • To have "integrated" data into a future European network via a uniform query web interface (a new ERGO?)? • How we can make that visionunderstandable? • ==> what to do? lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001

  10. Concluding Remarks • I find it very needed and useful to have a continued Help Desk for CERIF2000 • It is nice that EuroCRIS will take over the responsibility for the further developments of CERIF 2000 lEuroCRIS 31st October 2001
